The recorded framework is Not recorded. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.
The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
Two independent publications directly tested the R465H variant in functional assays and demonstrated unequivocal loss of E3 ubiquitin ligase function. PMID:17575125 showed R465H is severely deficient in Notch1 ICD polyubiquitylation and fails to suppress Notch1 signaling in a luciferase reporter assay. PMID:23228967 independently demonstrated R465H is severely deficient in polyubiquitylating GRα. Two independent studies testing the exact variant with unequivocal functional defect meets the strong strength threshold.
Arg465 is located on the surface of the WD40 β-propeller domain, the substrate-recognition pocket of FBXW7 critical for E3 ubiquitin ligase function. PMID:17575125 explicitly identifies Arg465 as a residue on the β-propeller surface essential for substrate recognition. The residue is in a statistically significant hotspot per cancerhotspots.org. The WD40 domain is a well-characterized functional domain without benign variation at structurally critical arginine positions.
NM_033632.3:c.1394G>A is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (0/231,580 alleles) and gnomAD v4.1 (0/1,593,060 alleles), yielding an allele frequency of 0% in all populations. This is well below the PM2 threshold of <0.1% for a rare variant absent from population databases.
REVEL score of 0.557 exceeds the 0.5 threshold predictive of a damaging effect. BayesDel score of 0.112528 is below the typical 0.27 threshold and HCI prior is unavailable. SpliceAI predicts no splice impact (max delta=0.00). Despite mixed in silico results, the REVEL score provides one line of computational support for a deleterious effect.
No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PS3 strong, PM1 moderate, PM2 supporting, PP3 supporting; combination = 1 strong + 1 moderate + 2 supporting, which maps to Likely Pathogenic.

NM_033632.3:c.1394G>A (p.Arg465His) in FBXW7 is a missense variant in the WD40 substrate-recognition domain of this E3 ubiquitin ligase tumor suppressor.
Two independent publications demonstrate that the R465H substitution severely impairs FBXW7 ubiquitin ligase activity: deficient in Notch1 ICD polyubiquitylation (PMID:17575125) and deficient in GRα polyubiquitylation (PMID:23228967), meeting PS3 at strong strength.
Arg465 is located on the surface of the WD40 β-propeller, the substrate-binding pocket critical for FBXW7 function, in a statistically significant mutational hotspot, meeting PM1 at moderate strength.
The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (0/231,580 alleles) and v4.1 (0/1,593,060 alleles), meeting PM2 at supporting strength.
REVEL in silico prediction score of 0.557 supports a deleterious effect, meeting PP3 at supporting strength.
Applying generic ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules: 1 strong (PS3) + 1 moderate (PM1) + 2 supporting (PM2, PP3) classifies this variant as Likely Pathogenic.
